Oh, I couldn't help it but I came up with a funny "explanation" for
the above. Egypt is in fact desolate compared to many other parts
of the world (mostly desert I think). And as to there being no
human or animal habitation for 40 years (and this is the FUNNY
part) how many animals or humans can you think of that live in the
same place for 40 years? I have moved a few times within the last
few years myself. I can't think of anyone that doesn't move within
a 40 year time span. So that must be what the Bible is refering
to. After all, the Bible can't possibly be wrong can it?
